I took the blanket off my head and yawned. I really didn't feel like going to school today. I got off my bed and started walking to the sink.
"AHHHHHHAHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed my head off. It was Laila. She scared the gut out of me.
"Whoa! Whoa!" She replied back.
"I was just trying to see if you were awake. Sorry," she said in sorrow trying to make me feel bad.
"Right. Its fine," I said while taking a deep breath.
"Do you like my outfit today?" Laila asked while looking deep into my eyes.
"Yeah! something different. That's nice," I replied.

I just wanted to have some time of inspiration right now so that I could go to school without any worries. I got ready and went strait out the door with breakfast in my hand. I walked strait to school and i had a lot of thoughts in mind.
"Good morning," I said to my teacher as a walked into the classroom.
"Good Morning, Sakina!" She replied back with a smile. I walked to my seat and tripped.
"Hey! What was that for!" I asked while my face was burning up from all the embarrassment.
"Oops! I didn't see you coming," the boy lied. I just wanted to punch him in the face because I knew he did that on purpose. I slumped in my seat and groaned. I was soo mad I just wanted to quit. I have to stick to my mom's words so that I am not worried about what others think of me and my beautiful hijab. I am going to solve this problem and go to the counselor.
"Mrs. Lily, can I speak with you? I questioned with hope.
"Sure hon! Come on in," she said with a smile. I walked in and the room smelled like cinnamon.
"So, what is the problem," She asked while sitting on her chair.
"Well people are bullying e-ever since I-I got here at this school. They were whispering so much mean stuff like I couldn't hear." I said while sniffling.
"Okay, I see, I will talk and give a lesson to every class in this school. And Sakina, you are no the only one being bullied, other people like you are also suffering. One started to think about not coming to school anymore. Say strong," she said with a smile with a hand on my shoulder. I walked out of the door and walked into my class.
"Hey you snitch. You terrorist better not sit next to me!" They all said while laughing and giggling. Ya Allah! Why are they so mean to me? What did I ever do to them? I started to cry and ran out the door and into the bathroom.
"Sakina! Sweetie come back!" I heard voices screaming my name, but I just kept running for my life with tears running down my face. I ran into the bathroom and into the stall, locked the stall door and started crying and never went back. Mom, I am sorry. I will never be as strong as you and Laila. Never.
